industry.
This course is offered either on a full-time basis of four years duration or on
a part-time basis of eight years duration.
Candidates completing this program qualify for the degrees of Bachelor of
Business (Banking and Finance) and Bachelor of Computing.
The course is designed to produce multi-skilled graduates able to manage
both the financial and information technology dimensions of the firm in the
banking and finance industry by:
- gaining a thorough understanding of the core business issues in
accounting, management, marketing, law, economics and mathematics;
- acquiring core information technology competencies in analysis, design,
development and deployment of computer-based information systems;
- providing thorough exposure to a wide range of disciplines to ensure that
the graduate achieves a comprehensive business training and develops a broad
perspective on business and computing and their role beyond his or her
specialised area of interest;
- building skills in both the management of interpersonal relationships and
communication;
- developing the historical and theoretical frame of reference needed to
evaluate, implement and operate advanced computer technology, particularly in
finance related applications;
- establishing a suitable base for postgraduate study.
